About Ryan

Ryan Huling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with six years of clinical experience. He helps adults who are juggling stress, parenting strain, relationship friction, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and career pressures. He also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication and control problems, fatherhood issues, and struggles with guilt or shame.

Ryan trained in clinical mental health counseling and brings a straightforward, relationship-focused style to sessions. He sees therapy as an organic process that develops over time. He asks for honesty and openness from the person he works with so they can move toward clearer thinking and practical changes.

In sessions he prioritizes building self-awareness and identifying personal strengths clients can use to solve problems. He uses evidence-informed techniques to help people make concrete shifts in day-to-day life. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and how to take the next step forward.

Ryan is a husband and father of three and says life outside work shapes how he understands parenting and family tension. He enjoys the outdoors and hard rock music, and brings a down-to-earth, matter-of-fact presence to sessions.

People choose him when they want an approachable clinician who combines talk therapy with practical tools. He offers a mix of client-centered methods, cognitive work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas to help people manage feelings and rebuild routines.

How sessions work

How his methods translate to online sessions

Ryan blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. Client-centered work focuses on listening and creating a respectful space for the person to speak. It helps when someone needs to sort through feelings about parenting, relationships, or life changes. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete steps people can use to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with stress. Mindfulness practice brings attention to the present moment and simple breathing or awareness exercises that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ryan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. He reviews progress and adjusts strategies as needed, so the plan changes with their circumstances.

Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote work helps them keep therapy consistent alongside parenting and work commitments.
